Howdy! Recently I started a late-game empire and I've been designing craft over the past few days. As I have limited time (Re: Ten minutes) I can only post two of my craft right now. The Edelweiss and the Edelweiss C. The Edelweiss is my empire's main light fighter, while the C variant serves as an AWAC, light fighter, and picket ship for small convoys.

I am still, rather unfortunately, new to the game. Any advice, tips, and tricks would be nice right about now. Any criticism on the Edelweiss would also be appreciated.
